Why does Rainforest Action Network support FSC's ancient forest logging? 60 million year old ecosystems for lawn furniture is immoral and unsustainable.

Why isn't ancient forest logging over too? Why is the RAINFOREST Action Network supporting end of coal but not end of logging in primary forests? Your FSC support is inconsistent, both are keystone responses to climate change.
